Neymar to PSG £195million, possibly agreed.

I've had to Google her because I couldnt remember her.

Good news for you, she got divorced last year.

Bad news for her. I'm married

I kissed Jet outside Food Giant when I was a kid and her moustache chafed.

you kissed her on the wrong lips...

[Sidney1st]

He was only a kid, maybe they're the only lips they could reach..

Deal has just been blocked.....oh dear

Sadly for us it will have repercussions, very ordinary players have just gone up price thanks to this.

I never knew until today that clubs have to give the money for the buyout clause to the player who then gives it to La Liga...

Very odd.

[Falcon]

Do La Liga have any right to do this?

[SonofPog]

La Liga saying that they can't possible be within FFP, sorry but that's not your call, I would laugh my tits off if this makes Neymars contract null and void.

[Caballo]

Aren't Barca in some way state funded?

Its a good way of making money via interest for doing very little.

EDIT: I don't see how La Liga can block this move. The requirement is that the player pays the buy out clause before La Liga then passes on the fee to the club.

Its not for La Liga to preside over whether FFP has been breached, its up to the gits at Fifa to do that.

There could be some interesting legal proceedings here.

It's Real Madrid, due to having the Royal crest on their club logo.

Basically the crown acts as guarantor for the club, meaning they get lots of loans which they rarely pay back themselves I read somewhere.

[BurnleyPaul]

This has to make Neymar's contract null and void....surely?

Please tell me that people are going to lawyer up on this one! We might be about to watch the complete breakdown of player contracts happen if they're not careful.

[Dyched]

Would La Liga not checked his contract when he signed it at barcelona?

If so, they were fine with the buy out clause.

Probably because they thought no one would be daft enough to meet the buy out clause,now PSG have called their bluff La Liga don't know how to respond hence the delaying tactics.

[Vegas Claret]

La Liga have no legal right to refuse payment. UEFA insist PSG must stay within FFP and to do that they will have to sell players. This will merely postpone the transfer a few days/weeks

[ontario claret]

The gladiators were motivated by more than money. If you won, you lived, if you didn't, well.....so much for the mortgage. Same thing with that Aztec game that required putting a ball through a hoop on the side of a pit, without using your hands or feet. If you "won", you got sacrificed to the gods with your heart cut out. I think I would have thrown the game.

[KRBFC]

They shouldn't allow him to move to PSG, its terrible for football. He should be forced to join a PL club.

[Saxoman]

We now live in a world where Paul pogba was cheap.

[Vegas Claret]

we now live in a world where Messi is worth 500 million

Not state but the Catalan Regional Government, it's Real Mad that are funded by the Spanish Gov allegedly.

This sums it up quite well.
